Wrangler: Anatomy of an Icon

Courtesy of our good friends at Netflix, I saw the documentary “Wrangler” Anatomy of an Icon.” The film is about 1970s gay porn star Jack Wrangler. He was the quintessential gay pin up model as he had dashing good looks, a great body and he sure knew how to make the boys come again and again.

After starring in dozens of films, he befriended 1940s pop singer Margaret Whiting. Shortly thereafter, he quit the gay porn industry and the pair were married. He tried his hand (and other body parts, presumably) at doing straight porn and really jumping the shark by writing librettos, but his career was always overshadowed by his gay porn past. The film was completed and released prior to Wranglers’ death in April of this year.
